Tooth Tips For Traveling

Smileology Tooth Tips For Traveling

If you are planning to take an extended vacation or business trip soon, I recommend you examine your dental needs.

It's always a good idea to have a checkup with your dentist prior to leaving on long vacations, especially if your trip is taking you to developing areas without satisfactory dental care options. This quick examination will help you be sure that your mouth is ready to travel.

Are You Having Dental Work Prior to Your Trip?

Another vital consideration; if you have any dental procedures scheduled before you leave, discuss it with your dentist. Many dental services are actually surgical procedures. This means that your body will need more time to heal than you may realize.

Oral Surgery and Air Travel

Also, if you're leaving by plane, you should be aware that changes in the cabin pressure may cause tooth pain or discomfort for men and women who have just had oral surgery.

Furthermore, make sure you are aware of any necessary follow-up appointments with your dentist or orthodontist before you schedule a vacation.

Dental Tips for Traveling

Many individuals put their toothbrushes in plastic containers for traveling. If your container isn't ventilated, be sure to give your toothbrush some air every day. If it never dries out, it can become a breeding ground for bacteria.

If you don't trust the water safety at your hotel or other accommodations, you will probably buy bottled water to drink. If that's the case, use bottled water to brush your teeth. If the tap water is contaminated, you don't want it in your mouth.

Also, stock up on sugarless or Xylitol gum in case you find yourself in a situation where you can't brush your teeth. Chewing gum stimulates saliva which neutralizes the acid in your mouth.

If you are looking for general dental care or quality cosmetic dentistry in the Niceville area, please call us today and meet with our forward-thinking staff to schedule a consultation or examination.
